Default Question about canards

I'm about to order the Nismo V2 kit from Shine, but I have a question about the canards.

I'd like to get the full kit painted/installed without the canards for the smoother look.

If I want to install canards in the future, can I put them on in the future?

You can put them on as long as you make holes again. I say you put it on now; do it right the first time.

I was gonna go with the "smoother" look until I got the Nismo wing to balance out the canards. As of now, I only have the stock lip spoiler.

Do I have to worry about getting them even when installing them later?

Can I just get the canards painted and meticulously measure distances precisely to know where to drill holes, drill, and bolt them on?

So I don't have to worry about sending anything back to the shop or getting anything else repainted if I put the canards on later?

Thanks for the help guys! Much appreciated!

Ken said that they are in the process of moving right now, so they've been pretty busy, which is understandable. You're best bet is to PM him with a quote shipped of the parts you want. He's a good man to work with, and I look forward to making my final dealings with him in a few days. Local buddies recommended him to me for his good service and "Hybrid FRP" material.

Just give him some time. Try calling him as well.

exactly. if you got them all painted up bumper and canards) and then decided to put the canards on, like mentioned above just remake the holes for them and attach them. would involve very little work since everything would be painted up and ready.
